Cisco LAN Switching - Cisco Press

Cisco LAN Switchingprovides the most comprehensive coverage
of the best methods for designing, utilizing, and deploying LAN
switching devices and technologies in a modern campus network. Divided
into six parts, this book takes you beyond basic switching concepts by
providing an array of proven design models, practical implementation
solutions, and troubleshooting strategies. Part I discusses important
foundation issues that provide a context for the rest of the book,
including Fast and Gigabit Ethernet, routing versus switching, the
types of Layer 2 switching, the Catalyst command-line environment, and
VLANs. Part II presents the most detailed discussion of Spanning-Tree
Protocol in print, including common problems, troubleshooting, and
enhancements, such as PortFast, UplinkFast, BackboneFast, and PVST+.
Part III examines the critical issue of trunk connections, the links
used to carry multiple VLANs through campus networks. Entire chapters
are dedicated to LANE and MPOA. Part IV addresses advanced features,
such as Layer 3 switching, VTP, and CGMP and IGMP. Part V covers
real-world campus design and implementation issues, allowing you to
benefit from the collective advice of many LAN switching experts. Part
VI discusses issues specific to the Catalyst 6000/6500 family of
switches, including the powerful Native IOS Mode of Layer 3 switching.

Several features in Cisco LAN Switchingare
designed to reinforce concepts covered in the book and to help you
prepare for the CCIE exam. In addition to the practical discussion of
advanced switching issues, this book also contains case studies that
highlight real-world design, implementation, and management issues, as
well as chapter-ending review questions and exercises.

This book
is part of the Cisco CCIE Professional Development Series from Cisco
Press, which offers expert-level instruction on network design,
deployment, and support methodologies to help networking professionals
manage complex networks and prepare for CCIE exams.
